The Old Fashioned Girls consist of a mom (Kerry) and twin daughters (Katie & Megan). We live in the country on nearly 5 acres, together with our family that includes 3 generations (Gramma, Pops, Mom, Dad, and the 3rd generation: Katie, Megan, Matthew & Kyle). We enjoy living our lives for our Creator, growing our own veggies, creating homemade foods, raising heritage chickens for eggs and meat, sewing art quilts, historical dancing, anything crafty, home education and doing as much as possible the “Old Fashioned Way!” We have made our own soap, canned apple butter, sewn gowns, made quilts, exchanged only hand crafted Christmas presents and much more… Trust us, this is only the tip of the iceberg… We can’t wait to share our projects and hopefully encourage you to get your hands dirty too, creating a heritage together with the Old Fashioned Girls!

For a long while I just sat, as the morning sun shown down with it’s rays that held such promise and were less harsh than the rays that would follow as it rose in the sky and turned to day. Out across the lake the water glistened… Continue reading Liddy’s Bologna Sandwiches ~Megan

Today we often wonder, “Where is God?” “Is He really interested in my little needs?” We tell ourselves that He is, because of what we read in the Bible and the stories we hear in church. But what about when I have a need? What about when I’m worried and stressed? Where is He then?… Continue reading God’s Great Provision
